Food Pantry in the parking lot of the Bridge Café
Did you know about the Community Food Pantry at 4400 Buffaloe Road? (in parking lot of First Alliance Church). It was started by neighborhood residents Allison & Brandon DeLucca with the help of Dan Rothra, Kent Hoffman and Nora Hoffman (all in the photo) as a service to our neighborhood.
The Pantry is open 24/7 with the motto “Take What You Need – Leave What You Can.” It operates solely on the generosity of the Buffaloe Road community and First Alliance Church.
If you wish to donate non-perishable food or small toiletry items, you can leave them inside the pantry cupboard – or deliver to the Bridge Café (entrance to First Alliance Church) Thursday (8:30 – 11:30 a.m.) or Sunday (10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.)
